“National Technology Day this year champions the ambition for India to empower its youth for Global Leadership in Science & Innovation, and there’s no better time to recognize how Artificial Intelligence stands as the cornerstone of India’s journey forward. As we chart our course toward becoming the world’s third-largest economy by 2047 with unprecedented development, we’re witnessing transformative projects taking shape across the spectrum, with countless more on the horizon. Behind each success story lies the invisible but powerful hand of project management—a discipline now undergoing its remarkable evolution through Generative AI.
Project managers embracing GenAI are experiencing nothing short of a revolution in their capabilities, delivering projects not just on time but under budget, turning what once seemed impossible into today’s reality. For India’s vibrant youth, the path of project management offers more than just financial rewards—it provides an opportunity to directly shape the nation that 1.4 billion of their fellow citizens will inhabit tomorrow. The organizations that equip their teams with GenAI capabilities are already witnessing extraordinary productivity gains, as recent studies have confirmed.
When Indian professionals and organizations fully harness GenAI’s transformative power, we will catapult beyond mere project completion to pioneering breakthrough innovations at unprecedented speed. This technological synergy will propel India onto the global stage as a beacon of excellence, transforming our national aspirations into tangible achievements that showcase Indian ingenuity, redefine industry standards, and cement our position as a world leader in technological advancement. GenAI will enable us to maximise project success, a vision which is helping us build the world for a sustainable tomorrow”
